Two lawyers have filed suit claiming that the digital collection and sale of their publicly filed legal briefs and memoranda violate U.S. copyright laws.
In a putative class action filed in the Southern District of New York on Feb. 22, the lawyers are seeking damages, disgorgement of profits and a declaratory judgment against West Publishing Corp. and LexisNexis for engaging in the “unabashed wholesale copying of thousands of copyright-protected works created by, and owned by, the attorney and law firms.”
